Meet the Team

Surround yourself with Women Who Inspire You

GIFEW is home to hundreds of incredibly talented women like you who have dedicated their lives to helping themselves and others live their best lives.

Meet the Founder Bea Benkova

Bea was raised in Communist Czechoslovakia by educators to be anything she wanted to be. She thought she was destined to be the governor of a central bank and followed that path through an Oxford education after which she joined an investment bank in London.

In 2006 she woke up to a health crisis in her family and the realisation that the ladder of her life she had created was leaning against the wrong wall. Burnt out and stressed out, she got out of corporate life and embarked on a mission of healing, for herself and the women in her life.

She sought out the best transformation specialists and created what her soul desired for herself – an institute and community of women who nourish each other and grow together. In 2012 GIFEW was born.

Today Bea is on a mission for all women to fulfil on what’s important to them and transform humanity through the aligned power of evolving women.
